Advices from current students needed - choosing between Chicago GSB and Kellogg

很幸运地拿到了这两个学校的录取。想听听这两个学校alumni的意见，在你看来自己学校最大的优点是什么？能不能请你们谈谈这两年中国学生placement(包括intern)的情况？

毕业后做什么，我还不是非常肯定. (please don't laugh at me, I think many people are the same). 我大概知道Chicago GSB的finance很强，特别是做sales & trading．不知道去IB对于中国人来说是不是很难？好像这两年GSBconsulting的placement也不错．Kellogg的marketing和general management可能比较强一些，不知道这两年中国学生都找到什么样的工作？另外，我听说Kellogg的中国学生很少，而且环境对中国学生也比较tough，有点白人种族主义的意思，不知道是不是这样？

另外，在国内好像对Kellogg的感觉都要好些（名气大些？）．不知道大家有没有这样觉得？

谢谢！

局限性太强了,我们都不敢发表看法了.但个人认为国内的名气还是CHICAGO大些.西北大学好象在西安

University-wise, Chicago is certainly stronger in terms of academic reputation than Northwestern Univerity, but in terms of MBA ranking, Kellogg has been on the edge recently. If you are fond of people's opinion about the two schools, I suggest you to go the head2head yahoo group, where you will find almost all the comparative data between any two-school combination.

But from a rational perspective, I think the choice between the two school depends much more on your career choice. Chicago is much more analytical and finance-oriented, while Kellogg is famous for marketing and general management. Carefully think about your personal skill sets and ask yourself what kind of career are you pursuing. I hope you can better settle that issue down before embarking on your MBA study. When you arrive at the school with your career direction in ambiguity, you will find yourself confused among the hundreds of corporate presentations. Without a clear career goal, you will be troubled by the daily dilemma about which presentation to join.
